If you want a active chat, but don't want to cultivate an active chat then try hiring supporters to chat in your chat with guidelines on what you consider quality chat messages.
Since the dawn of industrial practices help has been hired for pay to keep your industry afloat anywhere from news page advertising to soap operas which got their name from their utility which was to market, and increase the sales of soap.
If you don't have money to offer to your hired support then try offering something else. If you for example have skill at a game you could perhaps help to coach your employees at that game, and pay for their support with lessons by using the bartering system.
Not everyone wants money as the price of goods can fluctuate leaving the future of any currency an uncertain, and to some unwise investment.
Find out what your hired support wants, and offer them that good, or service, and if they except your trade offer then you don't need to try as hard to figure out the financial, and banking side of things.
There's plenty of support roles I'm sure your channel could use ranging from moderators to human chat bots who have creative spirits which shine in a different way when juxtaposed to chat bots which are ai based.
Though ai chat bots could be fun too if you put the time in to figure out how to make them fun.
Once I watched 8 hours a chat bot slowly but surely flood a chat with advertising for a product that no longer existed. It was somewhat hysterical, but also soul crushing at the same time.
I don't think you want your only supporter to be a chat bot sending two identical messages every 5 minutes (unless you're doing it for the bit).
There's also support roles such as hype men on Twitter, and songwriters (vikings did this supposedly). Songwriters are especially useful since song is how many people learn, and is a great aid in learning, so to sing a song of your online presence is to teach someone (in a digestable form) about your online presence.
